I absolutely adore fruit cake. But not regular fruit cake (that I just like) but my grandmother's recipe for white fruit cake, filled with dates, golden raisins and nuts! Not that fake colored candied stuff. Except a few candies cherries.

I like most american /german/amish/pennsylvania dutch foods. American chinese and sone mexican. Not too picky-as lognas it is basically homemade and not out of a can. lol
